A summary outcome of the project referred to is represented by the volume [Sandi & al., 2010a]. A brief presentation of the volume referred to is given in its foreword, reproduced in Annex II. The correspondence related to the submission of the proposal is reproduced in Annex III. A paper on this subject, [Sandi & al., 2010b], presented at the 14th European Conference on Earthquake Engineering, is also reproduced in this issue of the journal. %K intensity scales %K instrumental criteria %K spectral content %U http://constructii.incerc2004.ro/Archive/2010-2/Art2-2-2010.pdf
